Hey folks [moto]
So this is where everybody has been hiding. TOB is a shambles and I just found out about the DMF from the HooHoo board just recently.
I just found out about this site also: http://www.motorides.com/
I was hoping that maybe those of you who knew all the sweet routes around our area would post some of them there.
Come on Grio don't hold out. You probably know all the prime routes. Howdy btw.
Welcome back Mojo.
I missed the bull fights this year.
Thanks Cromo.
I did too. I'm currently in Kuwait. I plan on going back to visit in March/April. If there's any bullfights while I'm back I'll see if I can get us tickets and maybe we can do it again. Hell, even if I can't scam some tickets it would be fun to do again.
Keep it shiny side up [moto]
I don't think my route to and from work is exciting that is all I have really done lately.
Interesting site, defiantly bookmarked.
I know Giro was having internet problems at home and I think could no longer connect at work. Hopefully this spring things will get bumping again.
I submitted a Salmon Falls/ Wentworth Springs/ Ice House route - but it may take some time to get approved.
The site had the French Meadows ride - otherwise known as Mosquito Ridge, but I have to say I like our El Dorado Hills starting point through Salmon Falls much better. I didn't even have the heart to put the slab to and from on the route - pretty easy to map out.
Cool site - especially once it gets fleshed out a bit.

I forgot to mention the little dragon. Its a sweet section of highway 49. Do a youtube search for it, there are quite a few vids of people ridin it- hella fun! Its also on http://www.motorides.com/ [thumbsup]
AND if you check http://www.motorides.com/ I got my Del Puerto Canyon ride posted [thumbsup]
Sweet. Thanks guys. Looks like those would be some awesome rides.
I did the write-up on the Hwy 49 / The Little Dragon on Motorides.com. The site is kind of weird. I did a map and the write-up, and then after my route was posted, they merged the map with someone else's coming out of Modesto/Riverbank. So now the write-up and the map don't really go together. But people should get the point. In between Bear Valley and Coulterville is the place to be! Just stay on your side of the road.
Not exactly central valley but this is a pretty good one.
